divine_a how_o he_o speak_v yet_o this_o we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v eternal_a and_o incomprehensible_a do_v speak_v after_o a_o eternal_a and_o incomprehensible_a manner_n q._n to_o what_o end_n

way_n he_o think_v fit_a both_o because_o it_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o disperse_v they_o abroad_o as_o also_o in_o that_o he_o will_v have_v this_o diversity_n of_o speech_n to_o be_v a_o testimony_n to_o all_o age_n of_o their_o intolerable_a pride_n and_o this_o confusion_n of_o tongue_n do_v take_v away_o that_o union_n which_o be_v among_o man_n and_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o hatred_n

because_o this_o name_n of_o babel_n or_o confusion_n have_v be_v ever_o hateful_a let_v we_o in_o all_o our_o action_n shun_v it_o but_o especial_o let_v the_o church_n be_v free_a from_o it_o and_o let_v all_o thing_n there_o be_v do_v with_o order_n and_o decency_n again_o let_v we_o fear_v and_o tremble_v to_o attempt_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n for_o he_o be_v not_o

moses_n rehearse_v ten_o patriarch_n from_o adam_n to_o noah_n so_o in_o this_o he_o reckon_v ten_o from_o s●…m_n to_o abraham_n first_o to_o let_v we_o see_v that_o even_o in_o these_o most_o

with_o abraham_n three_o that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o christ_n come_v of_o these_o father_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n four_o although_o many_o more_o descend_v of_o sem_fw-mi yet_o here_o they_o be_v not_o think_v worthy_a to_o be_v reckon_v in_o god_n book_n because_o they_o do_v not_o continue_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o sem._n five_o although_o arphaxad_n be_v here_o name_v and_o in_o
